Risk of Blood Loss

Most often, patients taking blood-thinning drugs like Coumadin, Heparin,
and Lovenox know that the risk of excessive blood loss is present and
take precautions. Unfortunately, medical care providers don't always
match patients' diligence and injuries and wrongful death can occur.

Blood loss and clots from blood-thinning drugs usually occur in one of
three ways:

The patient suffers trauma (like car accident injuries) and experiences
excessive and harmful loss of blood due to too-thin blood. Or, a physician
fails to adjust medication levels following an injury.

Blood-thinning drugs affect each patient differently and health care professionals
need to provide attentive care to ensure proper medication levels. If
you were put on a blood-thinning medication and subsequently experienced
a serious blood loss or blood clot injury, it is possible that medical
negligence lead to your injuries.
